Wasted Sunsets
We can find our way Tell me where you want to go Sleeping with sirens Now long before I get in Until I know what it’s like We don’t have much time How long do I have to climb This mountain of mine How long do I have to stand With my head stuck in the sand The sun is blazing Be more than who you are now Distant shadows Lay down fears that hold you back Two knees, with more than two needs Come back home to me It’s in you to carry on The words are fleeting Who was I to make you wait Far away for far to long Can’t you just be mine? My arms are open for you Our hands clasped so tightly Hello my almost lover So long, my luckless romance You are wonderful
I'm so close to being yours Won't you stay with me Show me how it all began The game has changed
You and I so beautiful Near to you, I am healing You may change your mind Have I lost you forever? There’s no room to breathe It was difficult to reach Just another pretty piece And I think of you Two of us a perfect fit You know how I feel Forgiveness is all I want Is that too much to ask for? Let’s fly fly away From this plague infested day Close doors and lock gates Is the price of human life Profit of a petty theft? Drink our sorrows down Champagne never tasted good Forget your home town Despite distance or mileage Were so pristine and flawless Ocean from my sheets I feel the warmth as skin meets Please carry these words Dear wind carry them with love Within this wind please Sand so coarse beneath my feet Shifting grain in summer heat
Much to dark to see Her face, rely on the stars to light her the way This sky up high must not know My love, there it’s clouds above I dream of passion You dream of fear my dear Can’t be scared to love You can’t be scared to my love I would give everything dear Forever with you Cause it’s the best I can do Time doesn’t just pass us It flies by the sleeper’s eyes In such a way that it turns Skies from night to day Dream, this breath, is all I have All I ever want I no longer know your touch I no longer feel your skin Long for such a way Feel you again, Who I am It’s all I can give I will always keep falling I won’t ever hit the ground Keep falling for you There is no floor to fall too My story ends with you And start our own together Wrap me up in dreams and death
